Reformer producing components for high-octane gasoline at oil refinery n.a. Heydar Aliyev (former Azerneftyanajag) has been stopped for scheduled maintenance, SOCAR officials told Trend. Maintenance will be complete July 21. The reformer performance capacity is 1mln ton a year. Specialists say there will be no fuel deficiency in the republic during the maintenance.
Maintenance at reformer led to significant reduction of gasoline export to Georgia. Fuel supplies to Azerbaijans internal market remain the same.
SOCAR officials said reforming operations suspension may affect fuel prices in Georgia.
